29 of the Best Ideas for a Healthy and Delicious Easter Dinner Menu

Celebrate Resurrection Sunday with a delicious, healthy Easter dinner menu. Pick a perfect main dish, sides, & dessert your family will love!

Does your family celebrate Easter with a special meal?

Or maybe two?

Sometimes my family has an Easter brunch after church, other times we have a special dinner, but the one thing that stays the same?

Delicious food!

Have you ever noticed that often holiday meals aren’t exactly healthy?

Well, it doesn’t have to be that way.

I’ve found some crazy delicious Easter recipes that are {mostly} good for you too.

If you’ve been around Simply2Moms for a while then you know we enjoy entertaining and creating special tablescapes.

So, of course, we like to set a special table for Easter.

I shared all the details about this table including how to make the jute Easter eggs so you can get the look too.

AnnMarie also set a beautiful and neutral spring table for her family that I know you’ll love!

My word!! All of these look amazing, but those peanut butter eggs!! It's a running joke at our house that even my sweet little girls are in on. If there are peanut butter ANYTHING in the house I immediately throw self-control out the window and I devour it all. I used to be sad about it, but these days I do it unashamedly haha!! Justin comes home and he's like, where are the tagalongs? and the girls go "Mom!!!" I should probably stop but I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!!! Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas and for helping me with my peanut butter problem ;)
